Mammals — continued (iv) For fat, soaps and oil — whales and porpoises, wild 
pigs and bears ; spermaceti from sperm whale.

abdomen of male musk deer ( Moschus moschiferus ) in

GROUP B. 
Animals Bred or Domesticated by Man for Food, or for the 
use of their Products in Industry, or for their Services as 
living things. 
This group is related to the organisation of human society in com- 
munities possessing fixed dwellings, fields, stock-yards, etc. The animals 
here comprised are captured, bred and reared by man. The purposes of 
this domestication by man are diverse, and the group may be broken up 
into sub-groups or sections accordingly, but they are of very unequal 
size. The chief purposes of man’s domestication of animals are : ( a ) the 
provision of food for himself ; (b) the provision of beasts of burden ; 
(c) the provision of assistance or companions in the chase (hounds, 
ferrets, cheetah, etc.) ; (cl) the provision of guardians for flocks, house 
and other property ; (e) the provision of animals which shall amuse and 
delight their owner either by brilliant plumage and colour, song (birds), 
or by courage and skill in fighting (gamecocks, fighting fish) ; (/) the 
provision of hides, wool, fat, bone and other products, such as wax, honey, 
silk and cochineal ; (g) the utilisation of the animal as a surgical agent 
(the leech).
